Little Light burned out (where you put the ignition key)

LOL, mine has a few scars around the ignition as well...

 

i think the light is only on the 4runners...i don't have one on mine but my buddy has one on his 4runner and my moms 06 4runner had one but we sold it...she sold it, i wanted it!

 

Well today, I tried to change the little light (for the ignition) (key).

I unbolted the panel that goes under the ignition area and then the little black plastic cover where the key goes (the clock is right next to it).

Well, I looked and looked.....and I could find the bulb. I think someone mention a 194 bulb but, I could find any bulb to replace....

Has anyone ever done this before?

Thanks.............

 

Where do you live? LOL

 

I've got one on my 2000 & if it EVER goes out... I'll junk my truck, I swear I will....

 

i have one on my 99 tacoma i thought all tacomas came with them

 

I had one on my 2000 sr5 4x4 too. I really liked that light. New 2nd gen doesn't have one.

 

^ old thread I know

I have the ign. key light in muh '00 (w "SR5 package")

haven't had a look at it yet

Did anyone ever look to see what lights up the ign. key ring.
is it a separate bulb or built into the ring surrounding ?

I'm actually more curious in knowing if it could be
tied into and used to power some footwell LED's.

I like how the light comes on when the doors are opened
and how it delays slightly when they're closed.

Anyone ever done this ?

and possibly traced the the wire leading to the door pin switch !?
^ can't hurt to ask 1st

 

I replaced mine with a blue led pics above^ its just a clear ring with a little hole for the light socket to clip into, just like the ash tray light. Id imagine you could tap into it if you wanted cause I took my ashtray light and spliced my 4wd actuator to it

 

Time for someone to mod this!

 

great!! now i have to do this i have been trying to think of a way to have my lights come on with the doors open and shut off with a delay but i never thought of tapping into the key ring light!!! thanks for the idea

 

Is there a place you can buy this little light? I'd love to put one in mine

 

Junkyard or eBay

 

well be sure to detail what you do... post up
...make sure you do it clean...
'cause I don't like copying sloppy work

 

will do

 

Don't have one in my 99 SR5 4x4. I have a 1998 Tacoma brochure that does not mention it. It does mention an optional 'lighting package'.

 

On my 2003 Taco Double Cab SR5/TRD (with factory keyless entry system), I do not seem to have the ignition light ring on my truck even though I have an ash tray light and glove box light (both bulbs burned out).

I just seem to have a rubber ring that I can remove.


Here are my burned out ashtray and glove box bulbs that I may replace with LEDs.
